"Advance Sewing as an Art and Life Skill"
The American Sewing Guild is a National non-profit organization founded in 1978 and dedicated to people who believe sewing is a rewarding and creative activity.
The Guild is a network of chapters where sewing friends representing all types of sewing and needle arts and all levels of sewing experience come together for educational, social and philanthropic activities. The Buffalo Chapter of the American Sewing Guild originally started as a neighborhood group with the Rochester Chapter on August 23, 1995. Plans were made to meet the fourth Wednesday of the month at various locations. Carolyn Bongi and Mari Wojcik of "Threads of Time" pursued the sewing enthusiasts throughout the area and in 1997 the Buffalo neighborhood group became a chartered chapter of the American Sewing Guild. In 2013 the Buffalo ASG Chapter split into two groups (Buffalo/Niagara and Buffalo/Western NY) to better serve the area's needs. We have continued to increase our membership with interesting programs from fitting to color analysis. Buffalo currently has seven neighborhood groups that cover fashion sewing, community service, sergers, machine embroidery, general sewing, and art to wear/fitting/fashion as well as a regular monthly chapter meeting. A joint community service project and end of the year picnic round out the year.
